We transplanted our tomato seedlings into bigger containers. At least 50% immediately wilted and haven’t sprung back yet. I am wondering if that is common? Is it some sort of shock that we didn’t expect or is that normal? Any tomato gardening tips for someone starting from seed is greatly appreciated. Thanks gardening FRiends.

Whenever you transplant tomato plants, plant them as deep as possible. I set my little two - three inch plants into the garden and some are only half the size now. I put one really tender plant almost to the leaves, and it is doing great. I had two in on container and didn’t put one deep enough. It is wilting, but still green.
